ELECTION OF DEPUTY SPEAKERS, 8 JUNE 2010 (Standing Order No. 2A)

Nominations

Nominations should be submitted in writing to the Lower Table Office between 10 am and 5 pm on Monday 7 June (the day before
the election).

Nominations must contain a brief signed statement made by the candidate declaring willingness to stand. This statement must
be accompanied by the signatures of not fewer than six nor more than 10 Members. No Member may sign more than three such statements
of nomination.

As soon as possible after the close of nominations, the list of candidates and their sponsors will be placed in the Vote Office
in the Members’ Lobby and published on the intranet.

The Ballot

The ballot will be held in the division lobbies between 10 am and 12 noon on Tuesday 8 June.

Members with surnames starting A to K should vote in the Aye Lobby, entering by the doors behind the Speaker’s Chair; Members
with surnames starting L to Z should vote in the No Lobby, entering by the doors off the Members’ Lobby.

Members each have one vote, which is transferable. They place candidates in their preferred order using the figures ‘1’, ‘2’,
‘3’, etc. The figure ‘1’ represents the vote and is mandatory. The rest are contingency markings and are optional but allow
the elector to influence the final result. Members should express preferences until they are unable, or do not wish, to differentiate
between any of the remaining candidates.

The Count

The ballot will be counted under the Single Transferable Vote system, as recommended by the Procedure Committee and agreed
by the House. It will be subject to the constraints set out in Standing Order No. 2A (5)(e).

As soon as practicable after the votes have been counted the Speaker will announce to the House the results of the ballot.
